About the tool

Ducks Unlimited Canada’s conservation work is grounded in science. Our Institute for Wetland and Waterfowl Research developed a decision support tool for biodiversity in Prairie Canada.

By identifying biodiversity hotspots, it reveals areas where conservation and restoration can benefit the most species. A public version offers accessible data on predicted species richness of amphibians, birds, mammals, and reptiles across 41.4 km² (16 mi²) sites.
